RE: SYSVAL QIPLDATTIM

[barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

With all due respect the system value may be changed, and you do not need
to do GO POWER.  GO POWER was added as an easier way to change this system
value as a part of "Operational Assistant" in V2R1.  Unfortunately, the
PWRDWNSYS command and GO POWER know nothing about each other which is
*BRAINDEAD.   So if you use GO POWER to power on, and the PWRDWNSYS command
to power down, you must first execute the CHGPWRSCDE *TODAY command prior
to the powerdown.

IBM calls this "working as designed". I call it a "bad design".

It's been "working as designed" since V2R1, and IMHO, it still needs to be
fixed.

If you want to IPL the system at a certain date/time
Use the power on/off scheduler

GO POWER from the command line
And add an entry for what you need.

Not sure about why the sysval would change though ? <scratching head>

I set this system value to IPL the box (which was double checked to be in
normal mode) at 10pm last night. Because this is the first time I've tried
this, I double checked the sytstem at 10:30pm and it's a good thing I did.
It did not IPL and the sysval was reset back to *NONE. There are other ways
that I can accomplish the same task, and that's not what I'm interested in.
I would like to know if anyone knows what happend and why?
